All It SAYS about the city Of Rome and
the county Oi Floyd viii ne ndOrsed by
every man who Knows ANYTHING about
that pare OF Georgia aud It's inhabitants.
Rome and Flold County have shown
more good solid puck and grit than any
section N Georgia, and tuere is plenty of
1t here yet. Nothing appears 10 daunt
the courage of the average Roman. We
build iron BRIDGES by the county and city,
by private individuals, and are having
the best roads M ihe State built. We
have indOrsed ? the public school
system and have one of the
finest in the State. We have built
some OF the finest churches in the state.
We have more invested IN college prop
erty than any place in Georgia OF our
population and more than others OF larger
populations. A public pride grows here
and 1t is cultivated and is growing every
day. Our manufacturing Interests are
STOWlnL all IDe time, ana we are u6Lefl-
aliZiug into a centre that cannot be de-
feated. We have all the advantages of
climate and health. besides more natural
resources than any place South.
All we want now is one or two
more strides forward toward devel-
oDment and we will open the food
gates Of capital and population upon US.
We are proud OF our railroad enterprises.
When finished they will build us to a
population of p 600 people, then will come
other enterprises and invest ments devel-
OpIng the country. When this comes we
have no fears as TO the result. Let good
business principles and liberal views ride
supreme and we will have all the success
and prosperity that we can find place TO
put. These are not empty blOwings, but
GOOD solid facts, based upon reason.
Rome is a commanding point and will
always be So"
